I saw a wolf, an apple and a golden egg (2023-2025)

 

 

In 2018, I had a profound, almost magical experience.

During a performance in which I was covered in paper pulp, I experienced a loss of appearance and identity. This brought me into direct contact with my inner world. In that stillness, the image of a wolf appeared: raw, animalistic, and powerful.

The wolf led me back to the stories of my childhood: fairy tales and myths I intuitively understood as a child and in which I felt free. Stories that have never disappeared but now seem to offer guidance once again.

From that renewed connection, I began to approach my work as an inner archaeologist. In the silence of meditation, I dig layer by layer. Symbols emerge: the egg, the spider, the wolf. Images arising from the collective unconscious, as described by Carl Jung; a universal repository of human experience, symbols, and archetypes.

They carry meanings that go beyond the personal.

In this series, I explore these symbols that surface during my meditations and place them within my own context. 

The apple is a charged symbol. It represents fertility, the female body, and creative power, but also carries associations with temptation and sin. In myths and religions, the apple appears repeatedly as a bearer of opposing forces: life and the loss of innocence, abundance and danger. It’s precisely this duality that fascinates me.

In this series, I use the apple and the egg as archetypal images to make the tension between female power and societal expectations tangible..
